🦷 How would you like to correct a patient’s occlusion—without touching their teeth? 🤯

Sounds like magic? It’s not. It’s upper cervical science.

In his presentation, Dr. Alex Kim reveals how he uses wide-field CBCT imaging to detect misalignments in the upper cervical spine (C1 & C2) that can directly influence dental occlusion.

đź’ˇ Here's the twist:
Specialist chiropractors (not the bone-cracking kind) use gentle, precise instruments to correct these displacements—often leading to spontaneous correction of asymmetric bites.

Minimal to no occlusal adjustments needed.
Just whole-body awareness and smart diagnostics. 🦷

Toothwear can happen to anyone regardless of age. We collaborated with great orthodontists, .jolla.village.ortho, to treat this young patient who had severe wear on his front teeth. We were able to restore his smile back in one short appointment with a conservative bonding treatment.

When you have a space between your teeth, what do you do? Invisalign? Bonding? In fact, this patient already had the invisalign treatment. Then.. why does patient have space between lower front teeth? We need to respect tooth shape and characteristics and how they fit inside of our mouth. Ideal opposite balance force between Tongue and Lower lip is required for the retention. In general, We don't like to retract teeth in respecting proper airway and breathing function.

Bonding Monday!

Here is another no pain bonding case. Needle was not necessary to restore teeth wear. Did you know that wearing down teeth is not aging process?

We often see severe wear case in young patients. Most importantly, wearing teeth down doesn't cause any pain. A thorough dental examination will give you idea if you're wearing down any of your teeth structure.

This patient also didn't know he lost 3-4mm teeth structure until our detailed exam. We used tooth color bonding material to match his exisiting veneer. Supreme
